Installer Question

Been looking at this thread and like the look of the lights over what my 2004 986 S has (plain old headlights).

I am a 'bit' shy about trying to do an install like this myself, and read there are people out there who will do professional installs - is this true, and will it continue to be true now that Pelican Parts is the distributor?

Also, read in the thread about the color of the angel eyes and potential for some colors to not be street legal - is there a recommended color (I was thinking blue / blueish as my choice)...

Thanks

I strongly recommend Charles (member Particlewave). Tech genius imo. Its all about you getting in touch with him and convincing him to carry out the job for you!

I also know of many who've simply drove to their local car mod/retrofitter expert and got it done that way. Can't recommend any sorry (yellow page!). All of those guys are pretty switched on and know their stuff anyway.... some even open headlights all day long for a living.

But if you ask me, Charles is the man. Not question there
